Notes:A heavy modification of the BTR-80, the BTR-94 is for use as a
combination armored personnel carrier and scout vehicle, as well as providing
some antiaircraft capability.The
chief modification on the BTR-94 is the turret, the BAU-23x2.In addition to Ukraine, the Jordanians ordered the BTR-94; however, when
the BTR-3U became available (see International Wheeled APCs), Jordan gave its 50
BTR-94s to the new Iraqi Army.
These vehicles were acquired by Jordan in 1997 and then by Iraq in 2004.Though KMDB sells the turret as being applicable to other armored
vehicles, no such modifications of other vehicles have been yet made; tests of
these additional mountings include the BTR-70 and Ratel (for demonstration
only).

The basic hull is virtually
identical to that of the BTR-80, with the driver in the front right and the
commander to his right side.The
windshield and window layout is largely the same, as is that of the driverís and
commanderís controls and vision blocks.The rear troop area is likewise largely the same, with the troops having
three firing ports in each side of the vehicle and the driver and commander
having a firing port in the sides of their compartment. The driver and commander
have night vision blocks to their front.The troops. Like on an BTR-80, enter and exit through roof hatches or
through enlarged side clamshell hatches.The BTR-94 has air conditioning.

The new turret
is a one-man turret with enhanced night vision and normal vision devices, as
well as a ground and air surveillance radar set with a short range of 20
kilometers against ground targets and 30 kilometers against air targets.Unlike the BTR-80, the gun elevation of the BAU-23x2 turret is manual,
while deflection and turret rotation are electrical.Elevation is wide, from -4 to +55 degrees.The turret is a semi-overhead weapon system, with only the gunnerís head,
shoulders, and very upper body being inside the turret.The gunner therefore has limited vulnerability and is mostly protected by
the armor envelope of the hull, despite the size of the turret. The gunner does
have a hatch atop his turret.On
each side of the turret are six smoke grenade launchers.The turret also carries an additional long-range data-capable radio, both
to transmit findings from the radar and to transmit a video picture from a video
camera in the sighting system.The
datalink can also transmit data from the radar to friendly AAA guns and missiles
to assist in targeting enemy aircraft and vehicles. The guns have a laser
rangefinder that doubles as a laser designator.

As said above,
the body is basically a BTR-80s body, but the vehicle has a new 300-horsepower
multifuel engine, along with an automatic transmission.The suspension is raised somewhat, making it marginally more resistant to
mines and IEDs.The standard BTR-80
armor has been supplemented with a Kevlar antispalling liner.Suspension
is 8x8 and of the off-road-type, with run-flat tires. The BTR-94 is amphibious
with preparation; when floating, a waterjet at the rear is turned on. The BTR-94
has an NBC overpressure system with collective NBC backup, and radiological
shielding. The BTR-94 has a winch in the front with a capacity of 4.5 tons and
60 meters of cable.

Notes: This vehicle is very rare in the Twilight 2000 timeline; perhaps 40 were
produced before the war, and they were issued only certain to Category 1 units.

KMDB DOZOR-B

Notes: This
light APC is basically an armored version of the DOZOR-A (see Ukrainian Light
Unarmored Vehicles).It is thus a
light truck-based APC rather like the various up-armored versions of the US
HMMWV, but has more versions, including a basic APC version, VIP transport
version, NBC reconnaissance version, armored ambulance, scout vehicle, etc.The DOZOR-B is so far used only by Ukraine.It is designed as a modular vehicle able to take on a variety of roles.

The DOZOR-B
flows the lines of the DOZOR-A, though it has a new armored body and floor.Armor is of aluminum and the body is rather boxy, with large
bullet-resistant windows to the front and sides of the cab and another large
bullet-resistant window in the rear door.There are two doors on the sides of the cab and a large door in the rear.Firing ports in the sides and rear of the vehicle are an option; up to
three can be fitted per side and two in the rear door.There is also a hatch on the rear deck along with the gunnerís cupola.The driver and commander are in the front cab; the bullet-resistant
double windshield in front has a moderate slope, while the hood and front itself
has a sharply-raked slope.The
sides and rear are square, except near the bottom of the sides.A large bullet-resistant window is found in the rear door.The commander has a simple hatch arrangement, though the weapon is
controlled from the gunnerís position in the hull or directly by standing up in
the hatch.The gunner can aim and
fire (but not load) his weapon from inside the cab.The commander and driver have access to a GLONASS receiver for
navigation.There are no built-in
night vision features, but the driver and commander normally wear night vision
glasses at night.The DOZOR-B has
air conditioning and heating.

There are three
choices of engine: 122 horsepower turbocharged diesel with a manual
transmission, 136 horsepower turbocharged diesel with a manual transmission, or
197 horsepower turbocharged diesel with a choice of automatic or manual
transmission. The front bumper has a winch with a capacity of 4.18 tons.The suspension is 4x4, but the vehicle is more suited for on-road rather
than off-road use.

Though several
possible variants have been suggested, only the basic APC and an unarmed police
variant have been produced.
